Keto Collagen Chocolate Squares

This recipe is a slightly modified version from my friend Megan Kelly. She has an incredible blog and is a Licensed Esthetician specializing in holistic nutrition, woman’s hormones, and spiritual health.

**If you use the chocolate bone broth protein, it is already flavored with stevia and tastes amazing, so you don’t need to add in any additional stevia!

Chocolate Squares Instructions

Melt the coconut oil over low heat and add in the cacao powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, nut butter and protein powder. Be sure to whisk well to remove any lumps from the cacao and make sure that it mixes in well!

Pour into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper.

Refrigerate until it is firm (coconut oil naturally hardens when refrigerated)

Cut into squares or any bar size you like

Enjoy!!!

Notes:

Keep the squares in the refrigerator so they remain solid, but you can take a few out an hour before you eat them if you want them to be a little softer.

For sweetener, these are quite good without any, but if you do want one, I like stevia the best as it is sugar free and has a great flavor when mixed with a slight dash of salt to take out any sort of bitter after taste.

If you want another option other than stevia, I like monk fruit as it is sugar-free as well. If you choose to use honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar, these will elevate your blood sugar and this will not be a ketogenic recipe.

You could also try a sugar-alcohol like xylitol or erythritol but many people notice digestive disturbances with these sweeteners.

Dr Jockers Comments:

This is a super easy to make and great tasting recipe that helps put your body into ketosis, improves your brain function and provides collagen proteins to support your skin, nails, joints and gut lining.

I enjoy making this with the XCT oil as it turns into ketones immediately whereas coconut oil takes time for the body to process and create ketones out of. I am a fan of getting an immediate influx of ketones and then having other fat sources to keep the ketone production occurring over time…which is what this recipe does.

Chocolate helps to stimulate neurotransmitter production to improve dopamine, serotonin and endorphin levels so you feel amazing and are able to think sharp and clear!

Bone broth protein powder is loaded with collagen protein which is what are body uses to create strong and healthy skin, nails, joints and our intestinal lining. By using bone broth protein, we are helping to strengthen these areas of our body, allowing us to age more gracefully, prevent joint and muscle injuries and heal our gut.

PS - Studies show that not only can healthy levels of this powerful calorie-burning hormone devour bodyfat and fortify soft muscle, but it can also reduce your risk of diabetes by 53.7%, a heart attack by 83.3% and stroke by 51.4%. Here's more of the scientific proof...

But there is a lot of confusion as to where bread fits into a healthy diet.

The Bible practically commands followers to eat it: “Give us this day our daily bread…” The government put it at the base of the food pyramid. And for centuries, it has been called “the staff of life.”

The average American consumes 55 pounds of wheat flour every year, making refined flour the #1 source of calories in the American Diet – a situation that nutrition expert Chris Kresser describes as, “a public health catastrophe.”

Do You Know Your Body’s Most Important Weight Loss Secret?

Recently, Doctor of Naturopathy, weight-loss expert and best-selling Amazon author Liz Swann Miller, creator of the Red Smoothie Detox Factor, revealed 2 of the secrets to easy, steady weight loss. Secrets the big food corporations do their best to hide from us.

Secret #1: Enjoy real food. Don’t fall for the lie that you have to deprive yourself to lose weight.

Secret #2: stop eating out. You will automatically eat less without even noticing.

Then start detoxing your body with tasty, nourishing smoothies that are just as easy on your wallet as they are easy to make.

Because a single day of enjoying Liz’ smoothies demonstrated the radical power of her superfood-packed red smoothies to make me feel incredibly good.

Now prepare yourself for one of the biggest weight loss secrets there is. A secret that, when you use it properly, can transform your body and your health.

You probably know most of us eat too much processed food. What you may not know is that it’s full of toxic chemicals and substandard, dirt-cheap ingredients designed to make you eat more…and force you to gain weight.

Here’s how it works.

“That stuff is just a lot of calories your body can’t use,” Liz told me, “Some are poison. And all these foods are stripped of the anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories that help your body detox. The result? Your body expends huge amounts of calories to eliminatesome toxins—the rest, it stores in your fat to protect you. This is why most people are hungry all the time. They’re not getting energy they need.”

“So… what’s going on with me? Why am I losing weight but not going hungry?”

Liz paused, then dropped the bombshell.

Your body is designed to burn fat. You just have to let it.

“What? I thought we were designed to store fat?!?” We were Skyping and I was practically shouting. Then I heard Liz say…

What good is a fat reserve if you can’t burn it?

Mind blown.

Liz continued: “You’re drinking smoothies packed with phytonutrients, anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories that pull toxins out of you like a tractor beam. Allowing your body to burn those toxin-filled fat stores… and releasing tremendous amounts of stored energy.”

So that’s why I’m losing weight without going hungry.
